Ask the MB: Giant Logos. Safe or Unsafe?

April 15, 2010

Why are Earth's polo shirt logos morphing into giant mutant cartoons? Am I in any danger?
--Owen

Owen, we assume you're talking about Lacoste's oversized reptiles and Ralph Lauren's iconic equestrian, which in recent years has grown bigger than most real-life jockeys.

In the case of Lacoste, as long you don't mind looking like the world's biggest three-year-old, there is no real danger. Ralph Lauren, on the other hand, has essentially created the preppy version of Ed Hardy shirts with his Big Pony and Rugby lines. If you ask us, one giant logo per polo shirt is one too many. Clutter things up with stripes, patches, flags, and other Anglophilic flair (TTH edition) and you've got a look that shouts "Muffy says no penilingus unless we rent in Sagaponack, but my heart is at the Jersey Shore." Keep your distance from these things -- second-hand toolbagism is a very real possibility.

What would it look like if a gay pirate's acid trip puked on your t-shirt? A lot like this.

Toolbag Network Living Up to Its Name

June 10, 2009

We've previously commented on Bravo being the Toolbag Network. They're clearly listening, and even turning it up a notch with the men on the new Real Housewives of New Jersey with "Steve" (top) in Ed Hardy t-shirt and hat, and "Joe" in 5'5", spiked hair, and screeching eagle-skull t-shirt (bottom).

We're sort of wondering if these guys are real. They are such toolbag archetypes we're not sure.

Leave it to top toolbag outfitter Ed Hardy to design what's possibly the most disturbing piece of clothing we've possibly ever seen. A skull on your ass and your joint?!
